I quite like the North London Derby. But this game is a must win for both. Spurs need 3 points to help them stay up or they will still be right in the thick of it and they have a tough fixture list coming up. Arsenal need a won or they are going to struggle for the Champions League places. Also they have to start looking over there shoulder at Everton coming strong for 5th!!! Could be a classic. 2-1 to the Arsenal

They need West Ham to win today. Even a draw gives Man U another point. Liverpool are also lucky Arsenal and Chelsea arent on top form. Chelsea are just flat and dont look a patch on the team they have been under Jose and Grant. Arsenal are just too inconsistant and have been let down by a fighting type player.

The chasing pack need West Ham to do them a favour today. West Ham have beaten Man U on the last 2 trips to upton park so there is a chance but Zola is playing a flowing style of football that Man U could catch them out. I fancy a draw. C'mon you Irons!!

The snow is coming down in that area. Safe journey for any Gersnetters going to game

Shite again. Did Villa, West Brom, Brentford and Chelsea then another line with Reading, Wigan, Sunderland and Everton. At least it wasnt just 1 team who let me down again Oh well Arsenal and a draw with WH today

Was going to back Hamilton yesterday. Thats Utd and Hearts out the cup!

Its a shame it never went to a reply to how many would have went to Hampden

Jon what did you mean by this?? By the amount of teams he has moved to??? Who was top? Bellamy and Anelka must be up there. And Diarra is climbing the lists. These players certainly arent aiming for any testamonials are they!! As for Liverpool, lucky fooks. 2 weeks in a row they have nicked games in the last few mins. They have no chance in the league even after West Ham do them a favour today. Liverpool are also lucky that Chelsea and Arsenal arnt the same teams this season

TBH I hope LA stick to there guns. They have been paying him wat 200k a week and now he wants to jump ship!! We all know the novelty of playing in the US has worn off and his so called ambition of turning the major league into a big thing was all bollocks. Beckham should never have committed himself in the first place and should have stayed in Europe. Its better for him to move to Milan but I hope LA get a fee to cover wages and signing on fees.

This topic almost has as much threads as Boyd :fish:

I did look at Leicester. They are a late K/o though.

Bollocks. 1-0 Man City. Boro did well first have and Given has had 3 or 4 great saves on his debut. Ah well, need to dig out another team to back with Villa and West Brom. Any suggestions folks????

And i thought the Milan game was tuesday. I blame the club for not markerting these things well enough

There will be no future Pop Idol stars coming from the TBO anyway

Anyway its a betting thread. Its not done me much luck hiding my selections on here until after the games so il try to put them up prior. I'll have 2 lines but wait until after the early K/O to back the 2nd line. Middlesboro 9/2 Villa 11/8 West Brom 6/5

Kinda agree about Keane, im not a fan of some players going back to clubs but I think Keane will get his head down and do the business but not against Arsenal. I dont think Arshavin will start, Wenger wont risk him getting injured if he isnt ready.

Alan hasnt been around for the Match preview, so by all means anyone who wants a shot go for it

I fancy Arsenal to give Tottenham a hiding on the pitch but only winning by a goal. I'll be backing a double tomorrow of Arsenal plus a draw at upton pk (WH v Man U)

Not good as i hoped he played through the middle for a while. He should have been taken off much earlier against UTD. But with Adam away, McCulloch not getting a game on the left now, we seem to be better balanced and are using our options better. Step forward young Aaron

Was it his uncle (Gary Kelly) who played for Leeds at the same time?

Im waiting a wee while to see how many games get called off. but i have the basis of my teams picked. Also going to do individual bets on the lives games ive got rather then an accumlator. I really fancy Boro to beat Man City today for some reason.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/st_mirren/7872504.stm But he seems to have pulled out. Is he a LB or a RB?? He wouldnt be a bad signing for us!! He has a cracking free kick.

I didnt want to get into it too much either but I dont mind doing so as Im happy to debate. Your right to say others havent been part of a title winning side either. This is because we have had/still do have too much average players who cant do it over a season. Its not true when you say I think Boyd is the core, its simply because we have more Boyd debates than any other player. If we had as much Adam debates then you would say the same that I think Adam was the core. If you read my posts from way back then i dont even blame Boyd, i blame the managers who sign and pick the players. But on a personal front Boyd should be trying to improve his game. He did so to give the middle finger to Burley but seems to have went back to his lacklusture game again. And you have to remember Im far from alone in these thoughts. The fans are split over Boyd. Again not true, you are putting words into my mouth. Ive already stated the fixture list and McGregors injury as the 2 reasons I think we didnt win the title last season. WS's selections werent my 1st choice but he is the manager. And i dont think its JUST AS EASY to say Boyd may have scored the winner had he been playing. We witnessed McGregor in outstanding form, yet we didnt witness Boyd being capable of getting a winner - its 2 different things, 1 is pretty much likely while the other is a guess. But you are certainly allowed to think that in the same way I dont think he would have. But you wont see me trying to tell you to get over any theory that you may be right. As mentioned I blame managers for not winning the title. The buck stops with the manager, coaches and board for me on that! I believe the goals can come from all over the team. I also think Boyd can still get his fair share in the team but for me he wouldnt be first pick at the moment. Again WS has to take some blame for having a host of strikers in the last 7 months and still not knowing what to do.

Brilliant, would love to see Boruc hit that little tink even though Boruc is a grade A cock

Have you not seen Mendes or Bougherra play yet?
